基本释义
[verb] move (troops or equipment) into position for military action
[动词] 调动（部队或装备）就位以进行军事行动
深入解读
Deploy 是一个与熟词 employ （雇用；使用、利用）不仅结尾相同，而且词根相同的单词。
其中， deploy 由前缀 de- （离开）+词根 ploy （折叠）构成，源自拉丁语 displicare （展开、分散），经法语 déployer （展开、铺开）进入英语后，最初用作军事用语表示“（使）展开、（使）疏开”，也就是使一个军事单位在宽度上展开，比如：
- 连队展开并冲向小山。
The company deployed and made a dash for the hill. - 排长把他的部队散开到路的两侧。
The platoon leader deployed his men on both sides of the road.
进而 deploy 被用来引申指“部署、调度”，即调动军队或武器装备到准备进行军事行动的位置，比如：
- 步兵部署在山脚下。
The infantry was deployed at the foot of the mountain.
调动军队是为了将军事力量有效投入使用，从这个概念出发，随后 deploy 便开始用来泛指“施展、调动、利用、有效运用”或者说“发挥……的作用”，常作正式用语使用，主要指为了某个特意的目的而有效地利用或安排，比如：
- 我在工作中并不能真正发挥才能。
My job doesn't really allow me fully to deploy my talents. - 这家不讲人情的公司在重新考虑其资源的使用之道。
The impersonal company is reconsidering the way in which it deploys its resources.
